I know this girl

The oldest piece of work I still have

I know this girl that no one else knows

She hides from the world and lives all alone

She covers her face and wears a fake smile

Her lips pull back but her eyes stay the same

 

And she cries, oh how she cries:

Please just let me go

Just leave me alone

Please just leave me be

I want to be alone with me

 

And oh how they love her

But she won't let them near her

 

She's got all she wants but she'll never know

She's got all she needs but still she wants more

You think you know her but she's not real

And you thinks she's happy but oh how she bleeds

 

And she cries, oh how she cries:

Please just let me go

Just leave me alone

Please just leave me be

I want to be alone with me

 

And oh how I love her

But she won't let me near her

 

I don't see that girl around no more

But I take her flowers in the spring time

'Cos she's all she ever wanted to be

But she'll never get to see it now

 

And I cried, oh how I cried:

I have let her go

And I left her alone

So now I'll never get her

Alone with me

 

And oh how I loved her,

But she never let me near her

 

And she cried, oh how she cried:

Please just let me go

Just leave me alone

Please just let me be

I want to be alone with me
